Semper Fidelis

For Memorial Day ...

Faith bleeds red for eternity.

In freedom's never-ending fraternity.

Stars of David and crosses always aligning.

Reconciling.

Death before dishonor.

Roses cling tirelessly to brotherhood's trellis.

As last words declare ...

... semper fidelis ...

Author's Note

“The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?” - Thoreau
